OTR Detective Christmas, Day 10: The Shadow

Even the Shadow appeared in a few Christmas adventures over the years - in fact, Orson Welles and Agnes Moorehead starred in a Christmas adventure during the first year of Welles' tenure, which was usually more grim than his successors.

In "Cold Death" (December 19, 1937) we have a very familiar tale; Daniel Carver is the cold-hearted businessman who runs the company town Carverville. The Shadow identifies him as being just like Scrooge - so uses the methodology of A Christmas Carol in order to force a change of heart upon the man!

Another Christmas radio program tomorrow!
